(Note: This mod was renamed. The original name was "New reCAPTCHA Human Verification")

What is it?
----------------------------
This mod adds reCAPTCHA v2 as an option in the Human Verification Manager.

Note: The original reCAPTCHA used default keys if you didn't enter your own, so you could leave the key fields blank. This version requires you to have your own keys for your domain. To create them, go to this page (click on the "Get reCAPTCHA" button). It may take a short time after creating the keys before they will work, so if you get "ERROR: Invalid domain for site key", wait a while and try again.

5) Enter your keys on the options page, and select the light or dark widget as desired (apparently white and black are the only options at this time). You could select "Audio" to default to audio instead of image for the challenge, but the widget seems to have a bug in it at the moment so I recommend leaving it set to "image". Click Save when you're done selecting options.

6) You can check the configuration and do a test by clicking on "Click here to test connection" which appears under the description in the Human Verification Manager.

7) Do a test registration (or other action that requires hv) to test that your keys are entered correctly and everything is working.

8) If you are upgrading from version 0.9, you can remove the file includes/class_humanverify_newrecaptcha.php (the one without the third underscore) from your server.

I don't know why they decided not to make "login" one of the actions you could select for human verification. I could see requiring it after one or more "strikes", so that it would make it more difficult to guess passwords. In any case I'm not planning to add it to this mod.

If I had to do a recaptcha every time I logged into a site, I would leave.

As usual, I think it depends on circumstances. If this site decided to implement reCaptcha on login to fight the password guessing attacks that we get periodically, it wouldn't bother me at all. The fact is that I log in using my password so infrequently that remembering my password is much harder than an image verification. And the content here is valuable so I'd deal with it. I'm not sure that it would be important enough for the average site to have, but maybe some admins have their reasons.
